Letters Patent No. 95,679, dated October 12, 1869.

IMPROVED SOAP.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

I, HIRAM L. GULDIN, of Robeson township, ip the county of Berks, and State of Pennsylvania, have in- -vented a new and improved Soap, of which the following is a specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the combination of the following-described articles, in such a will be a hard soap and ready for use.

The soap thus produced can. be used to equal advantage in either hot or cold water.

In using it for washing clothes, I add about one ounce of'the soap to every gallon of water used, soak the clothes in the water five minutes, then wring them out andrinse them, when they will be clean and ready to hang up to dry.

This soap'requires less than one-half the labor required in using any other kind of soap, only one-quarter as much soap, and the wash need'never be boiled.

It will not iujure clothes in the least, and" gives an excellent, glossy finish to the wash.

I claim, as my invention, the manufacture of a new and improved soap, of the ingredients, in the propor tions, and for the purposes set forth.
